This is What Menopause Looks Like: Stories with Author Lidia Yuknavitch

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 04:00:00 -0400

Storytelling has the power to transform how we understand our bodies and our lives.

On this week’s episode, we welcome Lidia Yuknavitch, acclaimed author and editor of the new book The Big M: 13 Writers Take Back the Story of Menopause, for a bold conversation about reclaiming menopause through personal storytelling.

Lidia brings together 13 raw, insightful, and deeply personal stories that challenge stigma, dismantle shame, and reframe menopause as a powerful life transition rather than something to be hidden.

We explore how menopause is experienced across different cultures, the unexpected clarity and creativity that can emerge as hormones shift, and how women are redefining this phase of life on their own terms.

This episode dives into menopause, women’s health, aging, creativity, and identity, offering a refreshing, honest look at what happens when women take back the narrative—and discover new freedom on the other side.

Vaginal Estrogen and Hormone Therapy with Dr. Rachel Rubin

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 04:00:00 -0400

It has been a very big week for women's health.

After years of experts like Dr. Rachel Rubin fighting to have the black box warnings on vaginal estrogen products removed, the FDA has agreed to remove it from select HRT products.

This week, we are replaying Dr. Rachel Rubin's episode where she shares the importance of vaginal estrogen for women's health. Dr. Rubin is a nationally-recognized urology and sexual medicine physician and she recently joined several of our former guests and menopausal experts on a panel in front of the FDA to explain why the black box warnings do more harm than good.

As of November 10, 2025, the FDA plans to remove the black box warning on certain HRT products including vaginal estrogen. Thank you to all the experts!

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 04:00:00 -0300

We are all too familiar with the 15 minute patient appointment. The doctor typing away quickly while we rattle off symptoms, little to no eye contact and this feeling of disconnect when we leave.

We wanted to understand the reasons behind many physicians disconnect to their patients. Our guest this week is Dr. Jessi Gold, a leading voice in mental health and the author of How Do You Feel?: One Doctor's Search for Humanity in Medicine.

Dr. Gold discusses the many reasons why there is such a disconnect in the humanity of medicine as well as her beliefs in how to improve the doctor/patient relationship.

Actress Mel Harris Talks Life, Family and Thirtysomething

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 04:00:00 -0300

Many will remember this week’s guest, Mel Harris, for her role as Hope Steadman in Thirtysomething. That show influenced the lives of not only the actors involved, but the viewers who were loyal for its 4 year run.

Mel started her career in modeling and then transitioned into acting. While the role of Hope shot her in the public eye, she has consistently been a working actor for decades. She has raised a family, maintained a close relationship with her sisters and she continues to portray strong women on TV and movies.

We also talked about getting older. As Mel believes:

“I am not old, I am older and I think there is a vast difference in that.”

Menopause may be having its "moment", but what about the years leading up to the big event, aka perimenopause?

The Power of Neurodiversity with Dr. Thomas Armstrong

Wed, 01 Oct 2025 04:00:00 -0300

Neurodiversity is a term that was recently coined in 1998 but the existence of differences in brains is as old as time.

In this episode, we explore neurodiversity with Dr. Thomas Armstrong, author of The Power of Neurodiversity, Unleashing the Advantages of Your Neurodivergent Brain. Dr. Armstrong explores 7 varieties of neurodiversity: Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Dyslexia, Intellectual Disabilities, Anxiety Disorders, Mood Disorders and Schizophrenia.

He explores the advantages and challenges for each diagnosis and he is working to change the stigmas around them. As he believes, "just as we celebrate biodiversity and cultural diversity, we need to celebrate neurodiversity, or the differences between human brains."

Belle da Costa Greene, librarian and visionary behind the Morgan Library

We love sharing our conversations with inspiring women like Nicole Eggert.

You may remember Nicole from her roles in Charge in Charge and Baywatch and we talk about both of those journeys. From despicable behavior from a fellow cast member to slow motion running on the beach, she shares her journey with honesty and humor.

She also shares her current battle with Cribriform Breast Cancer, a slow growing and rare type. We find out how she is fighting cancer with the same determination that she has showed at every stage of her life.

She is truly an inspiration for all women over 50.

Wed, 02 Jul 2025 04:00:00 -0300

What do you think of the term "midlife crisis'? Is it a burden or a reboot?

Our guest this week is author and documentary filmmaker, Kate Muir. Kate believes that:

"‘A midlife crisis is a magnificent moment, and nobody should miss out on it. We need to reframe this time of questioning for a new generation of women who want to revive and thrive for longer. We must reclaim the midlife crisis from madmen with red sports cars - and make the space our own."

Say Goodbye to People Pleasing: Cool Topics YouTube Series

Wed, 18 Jun 2025 05:00:00 -0300

"It's Not Your Job to Like Me, It's Mine." Byron Katie

The need to people please is our discussion for this week's Cool Topics Series. Are you a people pleaser?

Most of us will answer yes. We say yes before thinking about our own needs. We put everyone else above us on our list of priorities. We often seek acceptance in people we shouldn't and we worry about hurting the feeling of others who do not reciprocate that.

We are looking for acceptance, love and safety. Yet, all those things we can find within ourselves. We don't need to seek outside approval. We should also be able to set healthy boundaries without guilt. Your time and energy are invaluable, especially in midlife and beyond. Don't you agree?

Be Your Own Advocate with Tamsen Fadal's How To Menopause

Wed, 26 Mar 2025 05:00:00 -0300

When it comes to the topic of menopause, we have had physicians and experts share invaluable information, expertise and research with our listeners. This week we are sharing a more personal experience.

Emmy award winning journalist Tamsen Fadal started her menopause journey with a hot flash while anchoring a live newscast. Fast forward several years later, Tamsen is no longer a news anchor but her journalistic nature has led her to co-producing THE M FACTOR documentary and writing her new book: HOW TO MENOPAUSE: Take Charge of Your Health, Reclaim Your Life, and Feel Even Better than Before.

How to Menopause answers all the questions you didn't know to ask, and brings you into a conversation with millions of other women.

Gloria Reuben Talks Career, Midlife and Hot Flashes

Wed, 05 Mar 2025 05:00:00 -0400

We love Gloria Reuben! She is an incredible actress, author and singer and now she is joining forces with Astellas to share how Veozah has improved her health.

Many will remember Gloria Reuben for her iconic portrayal of Jeanie Boolet on ER. In the 1990's, she was one of the first actors on a top rated show to portray someone living with HIV. She has continued to portray characters of with strong and determined voices and can now be seen in Elsbeth and The Better Sister.

We talk about how she feels joining the 60+ club and how she is enjoying this time of life. One thing she definitely did not enjoy, however, was hot flashes. She has joined forces with Astellas Pharmaceuticals to talk about her personal experiences and how Veozah (the first FDA non-hormonal approved medication for moderate to severe hot flashes) has improved her quality of life.

Heart Disease is the #1 killer of women in this country yet many women don't recognize the signs.

Changing the Narrative for Women 50+ in the Workplace with Janine Vanderburg

Wed, 15 Nov 2023 04:00:00 -0400

Does ageism cause employers to undervalue the 50+ demographic? That would be a resounding YES! This week we are speaking to Janine Vanderburg, former Director of Changing the Narrative, a leading anti-ageism initiative.

We talk about Change the Narrative's work in offering workshops to help with employees as well as employers to highlight the value of quality experience. Language matters, experience matters and she is working to help corporations to recognize both.
